Mine seems to work ok but has the licensing problem. Still working on it

[88gb525dxQK4gt6u]

nice catch.

They don’t say but I have compared the old and the new version and the only difference is some extra languages on the MRTAgent.app (malware removal tool).

[QUOTE][u]Quote by: cygnus2112[/u][p]

Would you share what you did to modify the installer? I’ve posted previously in this thread regarding the issues I ran into with patching the post-14.1.0 updaters. It seemed to work, but only by disabling an aspect of Microsoft’s package selection logic to a point that I wasn’t comfortable using that in my base image.

Given their evolving history of poorly-written installer script logic with Office 2011 updates, I’d tread with caution in doing any further patching soley for the purpose of having an up-to-date version baked into an image.[/p][/QUOTE]

I have just changed two functions on the distribution.dist file to return always true. Code below

[code]function ShouldInstallPackage()
{
var result = true;

//system.log(“ShouldInstallPackage: running build_package_map ” + GetPackageMapDirectory());
system.runOnce(‘build_package_map’, GetPackageMapDirectory());

//result = VolumeMeetsOSRequirementsTest();
//if (!result) {
// return result;
//}

var idx;
for (idx = 0; idx < my.choice.packages.length; idx += 1)
{
var package_path = GetPackageMapDirectory()+’/’+my.choice.packages[idx].identifier;
var default_location = system.files.bundleAtPath(package_path)[‘IFPkgFlagDefaultLocation’];
var install_volume = my.target.mountpoint;
var install_destination = install_volume+default_location;

var MSPkgIncremental = 0;
try {
if (system.files.plistAtPath(package_path+”/Contents/Info.plist”).MSPkgIncremental)
MSPkgIncremental = 1;
} catch (e) {
system.log(“MSPkgIncremental package: ‘”+my.choice.packages[idx].identifier+”‘ exception: “+e);
result = false;
}

if (MSPkgIncremental) {
var status = system.runOnce(‘pu_script’, package_path, install_destination);
result = result && (status== 0);
}
}

return true;
}[/code]

[code]function volumeHasUpdatableVersionTest()
{
return true;
}[/code]

Still testing the final result to make sure no issues arise. Please comment if you find any

I have checked my log and I also have the same error appearing but iTunes is working fine on the image. Did you test the resulting file?

For what I read the error comes from one option on the XML that the installer has and instaDMG forces to be skipped. Jailed install :question:

You can read about the allow-external-scripts property here:

BTW my iLife ’11 installation has that same message repeated many times and those applications also work fine.

It seems very strange 😯 the bug may come from having the same name of the package and path to it ¿?

You could start by organizing the packages by folders? as many of us do.

Also another approach less intrusive would be doing a checkout of the latest revision in a different folder aka /instaDMG2 and copy the catalogs, installerDiscs and pkgs

An example of catalog with packages sorted by folder

Looks like you are doing:
[code]$ sudo ./instadmg/AddOns/InstaUp2Date/instaUp2Date.py 10.7_vanilla[/code]
If you are keep in mind that you need the [b]-p[/b] to process after the checksums

nbalonso

[88gb525dxQK4gt6u]

Well the *new* updates have a certificate valid after Feb. 24th so if you set up the date before that they won’t work.

As you said, you can keep a valid BaseImageCache and use the current date for updates and software, or use Greg’s script to fix the two conflictive packages inside InstallESD.dmg

I personally keep a valid BaseImageCache and works perfectly

It actually does [b]NOT[/b] work properly. If you delete the BaseImageCache, when you execute the instaUp2Date the log reads:

[code] PHASE:Preparing Mac OS X…

Base OS installed
Compacting and saving cached image to: ./Caches/BaseImageCache/EC2F2461.dmg[/code]

After this you get a base image in the cache of few hundred KB.

SOLUTION: I have tested changing the date of my machine to February and executed the same command with good response. My base image in the cache is now 4.12GB. Once the cache image is healthy the rest of packages installed on it with no problem with the system date corrected.

This may be a workaround until 10.7.4 is out (which should be soon)

nbalonso

[88gb525dxQK4gt6u]

you can save the hassle of downloading the 3.8GB Lion again from the Mac App Store. The version still the same (hashes match)

In any case 11D50 is reported to work fine.

There is also a 443 revision on the svn

nbalonso

[88gb525dxQK4gt6u]

I did understand your point.

Same as I do you install a copy of the default Firefox preferences to [code]/System/Library/User Template/English.lproj/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles[/code] and as a separate package you copy the .app bundle to [code]/Applications[/code]

It is easy to troubleshoot. Just delete the default profile executing [code]sudo rm -rfd /System/Library/User\ Template/English.lproj/Library/Application\ Support/Firefox[/code] then create a new user, log in to that user and check.

If the error does not appear probably your preferences are corrupted

nbalonso

[88gb525dxQK4gt6u]

It is working fine for me.

As you say it may have something to do with the default profile you are using.

You could try to delete it from the English.lproj folder and create a new test user. Then try to update from that user account

I am not sure if the case would apply here but for mass deploying iOS applications outside the US (or even inside the US using the golden master method) Apple recommend explicitly on their deployment guides to buy as many licenses as you need using the volume purchasing program, and keep the un-used codes as proof.

This not ideal solution seems to me that could be applied for the Mac Appstore. But as mentioned above make sure you cover your ass with something in writing.

FYI I read it on http://images.apple.com/education/docs/IOS_5_Education_Deployment_Guide.pdf page 20

[88gb525dxQK4gt6u]

As of today and following great Allister’s recommendation my Lion catalogs look like this using the InstallESD 10.7.3 (11D50)
